Taken Last Weekend, From Culver down in Sandown.

Two From me. These were taken in early September.

Excellent photos Slinky. Love the Long tailed tit one the best.. Great DOF and colour very vivid and the clarity is great I have been doing more photography this summer than ever.. Have a right collection now.. Look forward to seeing more off your work in the future.

This information is good for pests in the garden. might help you for next season.. http://www.durbanvale.com/Environmental/He...ZA/Default.aspx Also anything try and use rainwater as much as possibe when watering your vegtables, sometimes water from the tap can be a little hard on the plants. Also re using water is better.. my water butts should be all fitted next week.. just ashame they wasnt already done could have collected quite a bit today.. oh well... Some more veg growing links. http://www.rhs.org.uk/vegetables/a-z.asp http://www.gardenersworld.com/how-to/proje...CFQ9oQgodVxNytA Hope these help and look forward to seeing the photos, i will also try and get some up this week..

Hiya Sounds like you have been a right busy bee in your garden, just like me in mine.. First of all do you have a greenhouse, cause you could have a big of lee way of planting times if you do.. if not.. if you quick you could plant some late runner beans.. but you would have cover the with some glass or clingflim, until the come through, this will give a sort of green house effect. and bring them on a bit quicker.. http://www.thegardenhelper.com/vegtips.html this site is very good for timing of planeting, sowing, etc.. for furture veg seasons.. I know have peppers plants, ready to be planeted in the garden.. and first lot of runner beans are just coming up.. gonna try some late parships should be ready by christmas.. hehe.. Also have discoverd a cherry tree in the garden.. think at this rate i gonna be making hundreds of pies and jams come end of summer...

Wow, excellent photos Bet your glad you did wake up at that time. Dont know much about them, can they be seen anywhere or just certain places, and is there certain times of the year when it happens, would be intresting to know.

ok, thanks for that.. will email you when it happens.

Afternoon all. Dont know if anyone can help, but i am having a few problems logging in on the forum.. never had a problem until moved house and went on to mobile internet with 3G.. some time its loggs me in no problems other times, then sometimes it comes up with "you do not have permission to use this board".. i try to log in and it just keeps coming up the same.. some times it can be days before i can log back in.. its driving me mad.. Any ideas anyone ?

Yeah i am proud of myself as well.. Not in sandown anymore, i am now more of a country girl than beach bum...hehe.. Also the wildlife is amazing here.. 100's of different birds.. foxes, badgers, bats.. endless wildlife... no doubt i will post some pics up..

What a good thread, not been about much due to moving house. I must admit i am a bit of a green fingers and this house is perfect for it. Already growing in my garden is.. Grapes, Plums, Eating apples, raseberrys, cherrys, longon berries, blackberries, and probley a lot more which i havent discovered yet.. Also my veg patch is looking good with carrots, running beans, pumpkins, beatroot, radishes.. and more to go in.. To be able to do all this, i feel is good because and i know that what me and my boys eat are home grown and had nothing added to them or chemicals been used on them, over the seasons i hope to increase what i grow. Also I am involving my two boys (aged 7 & 4 ) in helping in the garden, which will hopefully give them more of a learning experience than being stuck infront of computer or tv..

Heres a selection i took over the past few days, All Taken with Canon 400. This one was taken in rookley, i think it come out pretty good seeing as as i was in the car doing 40mph ( i was a passenger.. ) Was taken in jpeg. ISO 100 and not been touched at all. * having some problems with uploading at the mo, will add the rest laters.*

What fliters were you using Neil ?

Was taken in the late afternoon after one cracker of a thunder storm.

Thanks guys, I now know what the put on the write up for it when its put in the gallery...

agreed..

I didnt mean it in that context, i ment e.g 2 thirds, object in foreground etc.. Photography in my eyes is all about experimenting.

I like the cropping style I personally dont think there should be any rules to photography. Excellent photos kev.

Can someone please let me know the name of this cloud formation. thanks

Just watched both videos, You lot sounds like us, when we were watching the waves to crash over sandown pier... Cant belive you forgot your lens paul.. Love the photos you got from you day out. Roll on the next bad weather day, I might have to drive down the coast next time

No fliter was used, just auto corrected a few.

Here is a selection of the 300 photos i took today, from early this morning the cloud formations were looking good, we decided to go to the north of the island looking over portsmouth and southampton, to get the best views All photos taken with Canon 400d, Manly with standard lens on, and in landscape mode. <
